SAGE

Sage Miller

You can stay with me tonight

You don't have to change when I'm around

So go ahead and say what's on your mind

When you with me no judgment

-----

Freshly out of the shower. She was quickly becoming my one-way straight to hell. I kissed her up her neck, savoring the way her breath shallowed.

She is hell itself and I'm gladly giving myself up to burn with her flames. I'm a moth drawn to her flame.

"Sage." With her shallow breath, she moaned.

I pulled back, stop for a moment, and savored the moment. She's looked so fucking beautiful under my touch.

"Sage." She whimpered throwing her head back.

I traced my finger in her jaw to the towel ready to let it loose.

Smurf. What is she fucking doing to me?

I hooked my finger under her chin and coaxed her to look at me. Slowly she opened her eyes. She did so, reluctantly staring at me.

Her eyes are so damn enchanting. The blue orbs, so pale yet they sparkled with desire.

She looked at me like she was ready to let me devour her.... maybe I was. Maybe she knew I wanted to devour her.

I grazed my teeth on her skin. She whimpered and pleasure surged through my body from hearing her soft whimper.

Smurf. What are you doing to me?

I pushed her until she was backed against the wall. I hooked my right arm around her waist and roughly pulled her to me and her head fall back.

"Please." She whimpered.

"Please what Smurf? What do you want?" I smugly smirked against her skin.

"Give it to me. I want it now." Her voice came out hoarse, barely audible.

I reached down and grabbed the back of her thigh. I squeezed it and moaned. I dived into the cock on her neck and suck, hard on that skin. She moaned loudly this time calling my name. I was pul--.

A voice rang throughout the house. All movement stopped and I rested my head on Alora's shoulders. I counted to ten and pulled back releasing her thigh.

I sighed and she looked away peeling herself away from me. I huffed a breath, reading to bite Sebastian's head off. He couldn't have come at a worse time.

A few voices rang throughout the house. I sighed when Alora moved out of my hold. I forgot they were coming over. And I think they're too early.

Already fully clothed, I turn to Al.

"You staying the night?" I asked her. She arched a brow at me in questioning. "I invited a few friends over."

"You want me to stay?" She sounded surprised. "With your friends." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Or you could stay up here. Your choice."

"I'll join you." She said as she dropped on the bed.

"Now get dressed. I'll be downstairs." I ordered her and started heading out.

"Ain't you gonna take care of that?" I heard hers ask. I turned around and my eyes followed her down my pants.

I lifted my eyes and met hers. She bit her lip and that simple action made me wanna jump her.

"Nah, want them to see what you did," I smirked at her and opened the door.

"But you jumped me not the other way around." I heard her protest as I closed the door.

I walked down the stair and Sebastian spotted me.

"Took you long enough." He complained and grabbed a beer and throw one for me. I caught it with ease.

I ignored his remark and walked towards the kitchen. I stopped when Connor greeted me.

"You have that look." He told me.

"What look?" I asked him.

"Hey, Sebastian." He yelled. "Sage has that look."

"Oh yeah! I noticed."

"What fucking look you assholes talking about?"

"That freshly-fucked look."

I groaned and continued to walk. I had a couple of idiots for friends.

I walked back to the living room when I heard the door opened and more people pouring in.

"How many people did you invite?" I hissed between Sebastian and Connor.

"Don't worry this is the last of them," Connor replied and I once again groaned.

I looked around the house and they were like twenty people. I had thought that we were going to like ten or five. I would have been fine with that.

At the corner of my eyes, I saw Kate. I quickly turned to my dump-ass friends ready to have their heads for dinner.

"Why the fuck would you invite her here?" I hissed at them. They can be so fucking stupid.

"What is the problem? You were licking it yesterday at the dance." Sebastian asked confused.

"I told you. She's so.....clingy and she's gonna cry." I tried explaining them. I just know this will end badly.

None of them can be called my girlfriend.

"And why would she cry?" Connor asked this time.

Just as I'm about to answer his question. Alora came down the stairs and I swear to you that time stood still. Her presence demanded attention.

And attention she got. Every eye was on her as she walked down the stairs wearing a black and red mix-matched skirt with a white crop top.

Her eyes flickered to everyone and they landed on me. She smiled at me and I returned her smile.

I could smell her from up the stairs. Her sweet strawberry scent masked the beer and every scent in the room. The only person I could smell was her.

"And he says he's not whipped." I heard Sebastian mutter under his breath. I ignored his ass and went to get Alora and introduced her to everyone.

"Sorry. It was supposed to be a few friends." I chuckled leading her to the sofa.

"I don't mind." She replied and I pull her down to the sofa and handed her a cup with Vodka and ginger.

She thanked me and took a sip. I hooked my arms around her catching Kate's eyes.

And if looks could kill I'd be burning right now. I asked her to some stupid Valentine's dance yesterday and I may have fucked her. Now she thinks I'll be loyal and play college duty with her. It was a once of thing.

A few games were played and among them were beer pong. I was getting tipsy and so was Al. I could tell because she was dancing and everyone was enjoying the show, I included.

I pulled her off the table. That's enough dancing for the night.

Suddenly feeling the need to smoke, I grabbed Alora and guided her towards Seb.

"Sit here I'll be right back," I told her leaving her with Sebastian.

I walked to our small backyard and pulled one joint and lit it. I liked to smoke whenever I'm drinking.

The back door opened and I turned my head and saw Kate walking out. She looked around until she spotted me. I knew she'd follow me out.

The whole night she had been looking at me. Shooting me daggers.

She stopped right in front of me. I didn't say anything and neither did she. I blew the smoke into the quiet night.

After I've finished my joint I started to walk back inside but Kate stopped me. I stared at her waiting for her to talk.

"So that's your girlfriend?" She asked bitterly. I rolled my eyes at her.

"No." I honored her with a decent answer.

"Don't lie to me. I know she is."

We fell back into silence.

"Why did you get my hopes up yesterday? Why did you take me to the dance if you already have a girlfriend? Why did you sleep with me? I thought you liked me." Her voice cracked at the end.

"I do like you," I told her and that was the truth. "I don't have a girlfriend and I don't want one."

"But you asked me to be your Valentine." She whispered.

"It was a dare."

"What?"

"Don't be dramatic Kate. You got a date out of it." I gave her a bored expression.

I side-stepped her and walked back inside. Smurf was laughing at something Sebastian said.

She tipped her cup and my sick twitched. The way her rosy red lips curved around the red cup made me fantasized about her lips around my di-.

"Stop ogling the girl Sage." Connor startled me. I glared at him and began walking away.

"What's so funny?" I wrapped my arms around Alora.

Why am I being so touchy today?

"Oh, nothing." She smiled softly. "You were gone a while though." She pointed out.

"I needed some air for a while."

My eyes ran over her prominent jawline, itching to trace it with my thumb.

The party continued for another couple of hours before people started leaving. The only ones left were Sebastian, Connor, Monica, Chloe, Smurf, and me.

Right now we were lumped up in my living room chatting. We turned the music low. It still surprised me how Alora got along with everyone. It made this whole thing easy.

"Did you have fun?" I kicked my shoes pulling Alora to rest half her body on me.

"Yeah, I did." She quietly cheered. I smiled at her. "Though there was this girl who kept glaring at me."

Kate.

"Yeah, that one." I raked my hand through my hair a little frustrated.

"What was the matter with her anyway?" I chuckled nervously.

"Guys, let's play never have I." I heard Monica proposed and I sent a little thank you prayer to the Devine Being above.

Saved by Monica. I wasn't in the mood to explain myself. Especially after I lied to her and told her I wasn't going to the dance.

"That's a good idea." Chloe quickly agreed.

"Do you wanna play?" I asked Smurf. Say yes. Say yes. Say yes.

"Why Not?" She shrugged.

"We need more drinks," Connor announced.

"Way to state the obvious, Sherlock." Chloe quickly said to Connor as they fix the drinks.

Laughter is heard around as they laughed at Connor.

"I'll go first. You know the rules. If you've done it, you drink." Monica started. "Never have I ever went skinny dipping."

Everyone except Connor tipped their cups.

"I knew mommy's boy would be a wuss." Chloe teased him.

"Meet me upstairs and I'll show you a wuss." He winked at her in which Chloe pretended to gag.

"Enough," Sebastian said. "It's my turn." He tapped his chin. "Never have I... fucked my friend's girlfriend."

He clapped his hands together. I shot him a glare and everyone stared between the two of us. We stared at each other, challenging the other.

"We don't do girlfriend you dipshit." Chloe huffed.

I can feel Alora's eyes on me waiting for my action.

"Or boyfriend." He added. Chloe held her head high.

I was the only one to drink out of the whole group.

"Who was it?" Connor rushed to ask. My eyes flickered to Sebastian. He challenged me to lie and an idea popped in my head.

I smirked at him and answered locking eyes with him.

"Sebastian's." All color left his face and his face turned ghostly white. He couldn't believe that I said that.

Everyone busted out laughing at him. His eyes widen in shock. My smirk widen.

You don't play Sage or you'll get burned. I arched a brow at him.

"That backfired." Monica managed to choke out.

"The jokes on you because I never had a girlfriend." He said looking at me.

I did that on purpose. He started it when he asked that question. He knew I fucked Connor's girlfriend back in freshman year.

The game continued for a while and many secrets were revealed and we drank too much.

I pulled Alora with me up the stairs to my room.

"As usual, you can sleep wherever but Eve's room is off-limits," I shouted as I closed the door to my room.

I burned everything that belonged to Clara a long time ago. I erased her existence in this house. I turned her room into a guest room since I liked inviting my friends over.

"Your friends are fun." Smurf said as she took off her crop top.

"You think." My eyes followed her fingers as they pulled her top over her head.

"Yeah. I had fun. Thanks for inviting me." She had her back on me. I watched as she pulled the straps of her bra off her shoulders. I couldn't help but think about how I wanted to help her take off her bra. With my teeth.

"Anytime," I muttered. My gaze fixated on her fingers as she unhooked her bra. She tossed it away, taking one of my shirts, and wore it.

"I bought you Valentine's present." She announced and that got me out of my trance as my head snapped up.

"You did?" The surprise was evident in my voice.

"Of course I did, silly." She turned around. "Men can be so clueless."

She handed me a box which was wrapped in a fancy way. I took it and stared at it for a few seconds.

My head snapped back to her face. I searched her face but she was smiling softly at me. She urged me to open it.

"I didn't get you anything." I blurted out. I looked back at her then at the box.

"You don't have to." She said softly.

"I want to," I told her looking at the box and its fancy wrapper. I was curious to know what my drunk girl bought me.

I tried to pull the bow but Alora stopped me. She chuckled.

"It's a simple box made to look like I spent hours wrapping it." She explained pulling the lid.

I pulled the paper covering my present to reveal a bracket.

"A bracelet." I let go of the breath I've been holding.

"I noticed you liked bracelets." She pointed out. My eyes fell on my hands which had bracelets. My heartfelt warmth and my body felt fuzzy.

"Thank you." I picked up the bracelet out of the box and chuckled. It's made with sage leather and the Sage is written in black.

"It's custom-made." She mumbled.

This bracelet will go well with my collection. It's one-of-a-kind with my name on it.

I shook my head and planted a kiss on her temple as a thank you.

I put it on my right hand and Alora smiled when I went straight to bed.

Seconds later I felt the bed dipped and Alora joined me.

"I know nothing about you." She stated. "Except the general things."

"We agreed no personal questions remember?" I asked her.

"I think we are way past that. Don't you think?" She said. "We also said no sleepovers and so much more."

I pulled her so her head was resting on my chest.

"You once said and I quote 'to know someone, you open your mind, and when you open your mind, you open your heart to like or hate them'. You said we were only each other's stress reliever. You also said it was the only way to keep this 'no strings attached' relationship between us going."

"Is it working?" She mumbled.

"I don't know, you tell me." I countered.

"Touché." She said. We fell into a comfortable silence. I got lost in my thoughts.

"Umm... Sage." She broke the silence.

I hummed in response.

"Have you... umm... talk to her yet?" She hesitantly asked.

My eyes flung open at the question and my body tensed, I didn't wanna disappoint her, and I know it hurts her that she's still not talking to her. I've been avoiding this conversation.

"Umm... Eve can be stubborn when she wants to." I started. "She's still giving me a hard time. And I'm her brother. I'm not sure if she'll ever come around but keep trying okay."

"Okay." Her voice came out squeaky like she was about to cry. I rubbed circles on her lower back to calm her down.

"Ain't you afraid that now because she's found her other family she'll change on you and choose them." She asked. I didn't skip a beat as I answer her.

"No. No one can take my place with Eve. We have a special bond no one can ever break." I explained to her. "She might seem that she except them and all but she hasn't. She can hold a grudge and she doesn't open easily."

"I know." She whispered.

-----

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of my book.

I've decided to name the series because I've turned my book into a series. It's called..... drum roll, please...... Forever.

I'm very proud of myself and hope you'll support this book too.

This Chapter is a lot of calm and since o introduced the Characters in my first book ever, I won't introduce them again.

You don't have to read the first book 'Unscripted' if you don't want to but I'd advise you to.

Thank you for giving this book a chance. I hope you enjoy it.
